bool "Symmetric multi-processing support"
---help---
This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have
- a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If
- you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
+ a system with only one CPU, say N. If you have a system with more

- If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
+ If you say N here, the kernel will run on uni- and multiprocessor
machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
- singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
+ uniprocessor machines. On a uniprocessor machine, the kernel
will run faster if you say N here.
